I have said it before and I shall say it again! No one likes to wash dishes! In fact, in my household it is like pulling teeth to get the kids to empty the dishwasher! However I do not think I am the only parent who has this problem and if I am, well, it’s a sad, sad day in the world for I am not doing something right! And someone must tell me how he or she accomplishes this task with his or her children in order to get them to do dishes.
At any rate, after pulling teeth, hair and making threats and on that rare occasion when I get a yes mama, I load the dishwasher and of course I have used a variety of cleaners over the years. Some I have liked and some I have not. I have also found that store brands will sometimes work just as well. But I have also found a name brand that I like most of all.
The Product
Electrasol® 2 in 1 Tabs™ Fresh Scent Jet Dry® Power Balls™. In my opinion Electrasol has done well with this product also, with their advanced 2 in 1 design, improved rinse performance with reduced spotting. Jet Dry® Power Balls™ rinsing agents helps to eliminate those water spots that we just all love!
The tablet is a small square that has white on the bottom, blue in the middle and the power ball™ in the center top. The white layer is a concentrated detergent that will remove tough food stains while gently scrubbing the dishes, glasses and silverware.
The Effervescent Blue Layer quickly dissolves and contains special cleaning agents, which naturally breaks down stubborn food stain. Now here I have to say that I usually soak stained plates, silverware, etc., before putting into the dishwasher. Well, I wanted to put Electrasol® to the test and in order to do that I did not pre-soak the dishes. I found that Electrasol® did just what it said it would do. All the dishes, glasses, silverware, pots and pans came out very clean, shiny and no spots!
They are very convenient because they are pre-measured and I have found that they dissolve completely with no messes made by using the liquid types and no just pouring in the powder types where I feel like it and no waste.
Other Stuff
The formula has Phosphorus content, but averages not more than 8.7% by weight, which is equivalent to 1.74 grams per tablet. 20 Electrasol® Tablet provide the same number of complete washes as a 60 ounce box of powder.
Electrasol® 2 in 1 Tabs are safe for septic tank systems.

How I Feel
Well I don’t know about the rest of you but I sure do like a dishwashing detergent that is going to make my life easier. I have found with Electrasol’s® 2 in 1 Jet Dry™ Power Ball™ that I am a happy camper. I have found no soap residue left on any of my dishes, pots, pans, silverware or glasses. In fact, they actually shine for a change! No spots either, which I really like.
They are very easy to use, just pop one in and close the door, turn on the dishwasher and walk away. No need to stand by and watch, they will do the job just fine.
My son even likes to throw them in the dishwasher. I guess he finds them fun.
I do have to say that the tablet does come wrapped in a plastic wrapping, which you remove before putting into the dishwasher. And if you have very bad hard water you may want to also use Jet Dry™ rinsing agent separately.
The cost was only 2.86 for a 20 tabs, 14.40z box. The box is blue with a glass on the front and the word Electrasol® written in big bold letters across the front. Very easy to spot.
I hope that this has helped in some kind of way.
God Bless!
